I am trying to write a serial program which simply takes in characters and
then writes them out on a port the whole time is sitting and waiting for
characters from the other computer to be read in. My problem lies in here
the code I have written will send out the characters to the other computer
running DOS that part works fine. But my computer doesn’t display the
characters it recieves until I go and press a key. I have even gone as far
as to insert threads and that has not worked. I am using the raw() and
unraw() functions posted in the applications newsgroup. Does anyone have a
solution so that keys pressed on the DOS computer appear on my QNX computer
even if I don’t press anything. I am thinking it may be a blocking a
write(). Please any solutions, pointers, sites you can point me to are much
appreciated.

I had similar problems dubugging some code, and found it was a quirk in how
printf was handled.
It doesn’t update the screen until it sees an end of line.
I was printing out characters with printf("%02X,"ch); in a loop that
received data, but I didn’t see any of it until an en of line character was
sent.
Just a thought

This isn’t a “quirk” - it’s called line buffering, and it’s standard Unix
behavior for stdout when attached to a terminal. See the doc page for
setvbuf() for more information on how to change this default.
